japanese smock shirt

Description

Got this pattern book at Christmas and love the loose fitting tops and dresses in it. Made this cute shirt with puffy sleeves. Had to reduce to a size 8 as the size 10 was far too big. It’s a very casual relaxed fit, will be wearing it in the summer. Fabric was a pressie from sister in law and buttons pressie from my sister, so a very cheap project! Cheers girls. (Just noticed in the photo that the neckline looks like it doesn’t match up…it does honest, must be the way I’m standing.)

Well done! I have an enormous collection of these Japanese pattern books, and find the styling very casual, but very refine as well. I will have to add that book to my list……also nice to see how the sizing runs in that writer’s patterns. Awesome.
